The distortions of the ban on new registrations of passenger cars with combustion engines, which has a fixed date in Europe, are becoming increasingly noticeable. We’re willing to bet that Porsche is already sorry for converting its best-selling Macan to fully electric drive alone. And may it drive ever so smoothly. In the background, people are probably thinking about how the Cayenne or Panamera models can accommodate those customers who want to stay with the combustion engine longer than expected. We are also pretty sure that Mercedes-Benz is dissatisfied with the moderate success of its electric range, especially the prestigious S-Class, and is looking for new solutions; the CEO has already softened the complete switch to electricity. Stellantis, with its brands Opel, Fiat, Peugeot and Jeep, talks loudly about electric drives and quietly pushes petrol engines into the market, which could be perceived as unfair.
